Whitehorse Dam

Speaking of the Whitehorse Dam, they have build a 2,000' long fish ladder so that the salmon returning home to spawn can make it past the dam. They have just now begun to pass, only several/day. By August 1st, there will be hundreds per hour passing thru the fish ladder. The Chinook Salmon enter the mouth of the Yukon River in late May-early June for the 1,875 mile journey to their spawning grounds. Enroute, they change color to red and they don't eat, living off their own body fat.
